Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure across the NW Atlantic extends a ridge
southwestward to the NW Bahamas, while the remnants of a frontal
trough persist offshore of Florida along 78W-79W. This pattern
is producing moderate to fresh trade winds S of 25N and E of
65W, and moderate to fresh SE to S return flow between 65W and
75W. The high will slide E-SE and into the central Atlantic
through the upcoming weekend, with ridging extending westward
into central Florida. This will gradually lead to anticyclonic
winds across the entire area by the weekend. Pulsing fresh E
winds are expected  each afternoon and evening offshore of
northern Hispaniola through Fri. Moderate to fresh trade winds
and rough seas in mixed NE and SE swell will prevail south of
25N this week, including across  the Atlantic passages into the
eastern Caribbean.

3 ft. Scattered showers and isolated tstms.
